Commissioners approve paying for performance audit of the county engineer’s office
YOUNGSTOWN
The Mahoning County Commissioners have approved spending $94,500 for the state auditor to do a performance audit of the county engineer’s office, which was requested by the new county engineer, Patrick Ginnetti.
Unlike a regular financial audit, the performance audit will evaluate the efficiency of the operation of the engineer’s department, said Ginnetti, who took office Jan. 7, upon the retirement of Richard Marsico.
The commissioners approved doing the performance audit this morning.
“I don’t think anything in particular was done wrong [by the past administration]. I just want to get this done so we get off on the right foot,” Ginnetti said. “I want to make sure things are done correctly,” he added. “It will help us become more efficient,” he predicted.
